she have sex with them. "They hit her in the face several times and forced
intercourse on her." The girl had several bruises on her face, and suffered
physical and emotional injuries from the sexual assault.On Oct. 1, a 17-year-old
mentally disabled woman told police two black men attacked her
by the Clareview LRT station. Four days later, a 15-year-old
girl was walking home about 2 a.m. when two black men with

women in their teens.
